Zhengzhou becomes a key route
Welcome to the first edition of Cargo Clan in 2012. This year looks like being
another challenging one for Cathay Pacific Cargo, with markets remaining soft
and fuel prices staying stubbornly high. In these difficult trading conditions it
is hard to find any good news but the Cathay Pacific team remains positive
and is optimistic about an upturn later this year. In this spirit we continue to
add new destinations and expand our global freighter network.
The exciting news for the first quarter is the launch of a new freighter
service to Zhengzhou, in Central China’s Henan Province. Zhengzhou is one
of the fastest-growing centres for electronics manufacturing in Mainland
China. We also added services to Bengaluru in India and Zaragoza in Spain
late last year. We’re also preparing to launch a new freighter service to
Hyderabad in India.
We have received our fifth Boeing 747-8 freighter, the world’s largest
commercial freighter, and expect to receive three more by the end of the
year. They will be deployed primarily on routes to North America. Another
piece of breaking news is the roll-out of e-Air Waybill in Malaysia and
Singapore. eFreight will be crucial to the continued success of the aircargo industry and is a strategic imperative for Cathay Pacific Cargo.
The best of luck to all of our customers and partners for the remainder
of the year.

Ready to roll ℡Ṭ឵ᶋ

Massive IT production in Zhengzhou spurred the
decision to open a new cargo route to China’s centre
T
HE DECISION to launch
a freighter service to
Zhengzhou was not taken
lightly by Cathay Pacific
strategists, although the
speed with which they arranged the
service was impressive.
Newman Yang, Cathay Pacific’s
Manager Cargo China, says once
Foxconn’s smartphone production
operations became certain, “this
called on us to actively enter the
market by offering freighter services
to Zhengzhou”.
Anna Cheung, former Cathay Pacific
Manager Cargo Sales Mainland China
and HKSAR, agrees. “It took less than
six months [to put the move into
place],” she says. “We’re primarily
responding to demand and where
the cargo is. The world’s leading
IT company is producing one of its
best-selling products in Zhengzhou,
hence we’re flying there to capture
the business.”
Foxconn’s new facilities alone will
double Henan Province’s export
volumes to US$13 billion and provide
hundreds of thousands of migrant
workers with work close to home.
And where Foxconn paves the way,
others are certain to follow.
Newman laid out his strategy for
the Zhengzhou route like a battle
plan: the initial two Boeing 747
freighters per week on Wednesday
and Saturday will increase to four
or five flights a week in the second
quarter of 2012.
As well as electronics companies
such as Foxconn, the textile and
garment industries and some light
machinery operations in Zhengzhou
will provide additional immediate
support to Cathay Pacific’s new route.
“We see great business potential
in Zhengzhou, which is one of
4 CARGOCLAN
the fastest-growing centres for
electronics manufacturing in the
Mainland and is well-connected to
a wide catchment area in Henan,”
says Cathay Pacific Director Cargo
Nick Rhodes. “Cathay Pacific’s new
freighter service will offer shippers
seamless connections to our
extensive global network through
the Hong Kong hub, helping to
connect Zhengzhou to the world.”
Newman says the ground-handling
agent in Zhengzhou is capable of
handling two Boeing 747 freighters
in parallel. A newly built cargo
warehouse will handle domestic
shipments only while international
cargo operations will shift to the
existing warehouse.
And there’s more potential in the
area than just the rapidly developing
economic zone. “Zhengzhou is the
railway system hub for northern
China,” says Newman. “It has a
comprehensive railway network and
freeway systems to connect various
cities in the region. Zhengzhou is also
the domestic mail hub for the whole
province and neighbouring provinces.”
With such a potentially lucrative
region in need of express freight
assistance, Cathay Pacific is not alone
in its plans to ply the Zhengzhou
route. But the company’s planners
are quietly confident. Anna says the
airline has not underestimated the
importance of Hong Kong playing a
key role in opening up Zhengzhou and
the entire central and western China.
“Cathay Pacific, as the home
carrier of Hong Kong, plays a vital
role in developing the HKSAR as a
super hub and gateway of China,”
she says. “With the growing network
in China, in particular in the western
part of China, we would be able
to strengthen our position and
Zhengzhou's textile industry will also bring
business to Cathay Pacific Cargo

competitive edge by feeding the
cargo into Hong Kong … and onward
to the rest of the world, supported
by our extensive network to the US,
Europe, Middle East and India, IntraAsia and Pacific regions.”
The super hub in Hong Kong will
be further strengthened when the
Cathay Pacific Cargo Terminal begins
operations in early 2013, she adds.
Anna says plans to push further
west in China are always a
consideration. “We constantly review
our network and have route studies
to capture potential demand/business
and improve efficiency. Other than
western and central China, we’re
studying northern China, India, Latin
America and Eastern Europe as well.”
Newman agrees, and as China
evolves its manufacturing and
production landscape, it is clear that
Cathay Pacific Cargo is ready and able
to assist industries that need products
brought in or shipped out quickly.
“The trend for massive manufacturers
such as Foxconn to move and increase
their production lines in the West or
Central Zone is inevitable, for costsaving purposes. As a leading cargo
carrier, we must follow where the cargo
is produced,” he says.

F
OR DECADES, the major hubs
in China’s eastern coastal
region have cornered the lion’s
share of manufacturing and
trade, for reasons of simple
geography if nothing else. They have
created a phenomenon of human
migratory labour that is unsurpassed
– something witnessed every Lunar
New Year as weary workers flood
the transport networks to visit their
families in the west.
But the tables are turning and
central provinces such as Henan
are now the vanguard for China’s
manufacturing future – the Central
Plains Economic Zone in particular.
Big manufacturers are beginning
to see the benefits and major
industry support players such as
Cathay Pacific are trailblazing to these
new destinations that will be the
trading and logistics hubs of central
and western China.
Last year was not encouraging for
the airfreight industry. Independent
market intelligence provider CAPA
Centre for Aviation reported that Asia
Pacific international air-cargo demand
fell 4.8 percent in 2011, reflecting the
6 CARGOCLAN
wider world trade environment. Yet
Cathay Pacific started new freighter
flights to Chengdu, the capital of
Sichuan Province, and Chongqing in
the second half of last year – and
a new service to Henan’s capital
Zhengzhou has recently taken off.
With unfavourable trade winds
blowing in world freight markets,
China just may prove a valuable
growth engine for 2012-2013.
James Woodrow, Cathay Pacific
General Manager Cargo Sales and
Marketing, explains the airline’s
strategy coming out of a lacklustre
2011 for the industry.
“The long-haul markets ex-Hong
Kong and China have been very
challenging throughout the past
three quarters of 2011,” says James.
“Given the uncertainty in global
markets, the first half of 2012 is
expected to be similarly challenging.
The only light at the end of the
tunnel is a number of exciting new
product launches coming up soon in
the high-tech/electronics sector.”
Given the uncertainty, James says
Cathay Pacific has been working
hard to better balance supply and
demand by focusing on four key areas:
1. Reducing the Boeing 747-400 BCF
fleet from 11 to an anticipated
four by mid-2012;
2. Deferring the introduction of two
Boeing 747-8Fs from 2012 to
2013;
3. Reducing utilisation across the
whole freighter fleet, leading to
frequency reductions;
4. Developing new markets such
as the three Cs in China – CKG
(Chongqing), CTU (Chengdu)
and CGO (Zhengzhou) – and,
going forward, serving further
high-tech manufacturing clusters
in the inner part of China.
James is referring to the likes of
Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics
giant. Lured with rebates and
subsidies, Foxconn built a factory in
Zhengzhou and reportedly plans to
invest in 19 new projects in Henan
Province, recruiting 300,000 workers
in the next few years.
“These are the areas where major
brands such as HP, Dell and Lenovo
have moved their production.
Cathay Pacific has to follow the
cargo,” says James.

According to Stephen Joske, who until
recently was a director at the Economist
Intelligence Unit (EIU) in Beijing, the
development of China’s geographical
heartland was inevitable. “It’s really
market forces rather than government
policy driving long-term growth,” he
says. “Henan’s large rural population
is fuelling sustained urbanisation
and the lower wages compared to
coastal provinces are attracting strong
investment in manufacturing.”
And the high-tech migration, big
as it is, is only one cog in a large
manufacturing wheel. “The Foxconn
investment in Zhengzhou is an
important sign of the attractiveness
of the city to investors looking for
cheaper labour and good transport
away from the coast,” says Joske.
“But it is still only a tiny part of the
city’s economy, which is centred on
aluminium-processing, the automotive
industry and food products.”
This kind of potential is not lost on
James and Cathay Pacific strategists,
especially in times like these. In
2011, China (excluding cargo exHong Kong) represented double-digit
percent of Cathay Pacific’s total
cargo. However, James emphasises
that advancements in China’s west do
not spell trouble for Cathay Pacific’s
established eastern markets. “It
should be remembered that the
Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River
Delta will remain huge export centres
for many years to come,” he says.
“Production is fragmenting to quite
a number of centres inland and this
provides an opportunity for hub
carriers such as Cathay Pacific to
provide the vital link between these
inland centres and the world.
“Hong Kong and Shanghai have
been the major export markets
for Cathay Pacific Cargo in recent
years. However, with the relocation
of factories to inland China we
need to follow the cargo. Hence
in June 2011 we started charter
flights to Chongqing and as of today
operate four B747-400Fs per week
ex-Chongqing, three per week exChengdu – and have started two per
week ex-Zhengzhou.
“Our intention is to ramp up, as

demand increases, to six flights per
week from each location so that we
can offer a seamless connection
for each day’s production from
Chongqing, Chengdu and Zhengzhou
to the world. Our new 2.6-milliontonne-capacity cargo terminal [in
Hong Kong] will assist with ensuring
smooth, industry-beating, quick
connections once it begins operations
in the first quarter of 2013.”
It’s this kind of expansion that has
James excited, and he notes that
Cathay Pacific has a well-balanced
network out of Hong Kong comprising
passenger bellies and freighters.
“We can connect the three Cs with
all parts of the world. Our challenge
is then to connect further growth
markets to our Hong Kong hub as
their output grows – [markets] such
as Wuhan, Taiyuan, etc.”
James says Cathay Pacific’s global
network gives it a unique opportunity
to offer multiple destinations to
shippers in western China. A daily
connection from the region to Hong
Kong will enable manufacturers and
forwarders to support a reliable global
supply chain.
“This works for both exports from
these manufacturing centres as well
as for the imports of parts,” he says.
“Over time, these cities are also
developing significant middle classes
that will consume increasing volumes
of high-value goods, which will move
in by airfreight.”
Analyst Joske also sees the
potential, with the next wave of
industrial growth in China led by
factories moving to where the labour
is. Take salaries for instance. “Inland
areas have wages around half the
level on the coast,” he says. For 2012,
the EIU forecasts average annual
wages in Shanghai at RMB83,310,
compared to RMB37,360 in Henan
and RMB42,730 in Sichuan.
The EIU gives Zhengzhou the top
rating of all major Chinese cities for
population growth over the next five
years. This reflects both the large
surrounding rural population and
proactive local government policies,
says Joske.
“Zhengzhou has a very strong
logistics ranking – we place it at 21
out of 94 major cities,” he says. “As
one of the transportation hubs of
central China it has strong rail and
road links. Chengdu performs even
better at four out of 94. Chengdu is
well linked by air and rail, and ranked
among the top cities in this category.

overtook Chongqing in the 2011
rankings even though Chongqing
has a river port on the Yangtze.”
So, what is Cathay Pacific’s next
move? “Cathay Pacific is targeting to
move the three Cs to six flights per
week so that cargo is never sitting at
the airport waiting for the next flight,”
says James. “This will allow a stable,
fast and reliable supply chain.”
Joske cites Zhengzhou as an
example of the potential of China’s
inland markets. “Zhengzhou currently
has a very underdeveloped airfreight
industry, indicating enormous growth
potential,” he says. “While almost
1 percent of cargo in Shanghai is
moved by air, in Zhengzhou the
figure is only 0.02 percent.” And
that spells good news for growth that
Cathay Pacific is keen to participate in.

China΄s shift towards higher-end manufacturing

ITH SUCH a swift drift

factories westward,
what is the prognosis
for Cathay Pacific’s
more established markets such as
Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou?
Will growth in these cities and the
big deltas suffer at the hands of a
developing rural heartland?
Stephen Joske, who until recently
was a director at the Economist
Intelligence Unit in Beijing, sees
little reason to doubt China’s growth
prospects, be it west or east.
“China’s great strength compared
to other developing countries is
its relatively strong infrastructure
in everything from the national
highway network to broadband
access,” Joske says. “The 2008ackage gave a major
2009 stimulus package

Newman Yang,

Manager Cargo China, agrees, with a
caveat that big growth in the east
for his markets iss unlikely in the
hough we see
short term. “Although

are still a concern for western cities
such as Chengdu and Chongqing
“In short, Hong Kong and Shanghai
will continue their role as air-cargo
gateways for PRD and YRD. But it will
probably be very unlikely to see big
throughput growth in the next couple
of years,” he says.
Former Cathay Pacific Manager
Cargo Sales Mainland China and
HKSAR, Anna Cheung, observes that
factories in the PRD are moving up
the value chain by shifting from
their traditional role in low-end
manufacturing to producing highend products such as electronics
and pharmaceuticals. The shift will
stimulate the demand for airfreight,
she says, due to the products’ nature
and demand-driven supply chain.
Anna says: “Being the world’s
biggest international air-cargo
carrier, Cathay Pacific will continue
to provide a premium air-cargo
service to our customers in the
greater PRD or even pan-PRD region
by strengthening our networks and
products to entice [manufacturers
to ship through] Hong Kong [and
maintain it] as the most efficient
gateway of South China to the wo
world.
In addition to our excellent service
out of Hong Kong, Guangzhou is our

services operated by Dragonair.”
Newman sees an expanding market
for luxury goods as supporting a
platform of growth, for big centres and
elsewhere. “We see luxury goods such
as high-end cars, fashion garments and
shoes, household appliances and hi-fi
equipment all on the lists of import
goods, and the destinations of these
goods is not just big cities such as
Shanghai and Beijing but also cities like
Chongqing, Chengdu and Zhengzhou.
“Apart from luxury goods, our
attention is actually attracted by
the needs for those OEM/ODM
manufacturers to import spare parts
and raw materials. We are working
with trade associations and local
logistics bureaus on this.” He says
another interesting area is machinery
imports from places such as Japan,
Taiwan, Germany and the US.
Newman says Cathay Pacific has
already started freighter operations to
Chongqing, Chengdu and Zhengzhou.
“We will continue our close observations
on the opportunities to operate in
growing markets such as Wuhan and
Changsha,” he says.

frequented establishments is Panxi
Restaurant, featuring a garden setting
and located near the charming Liwan
Lake. Its water chestnut cake, prawn
dumpling and Sister Er’s steamed
dumpling are a must.
On Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street
three of the most famous dim sum
institutions in Guangzhou can be
found. Lianxianglou, established in
1889, is best known for its lotus
seed bun. Tao Tao Ju, a 132-year-old
restaurant with an elegant décor, is
also worth a visit. In days gone by, Tao
Tao Ju was the hangout for elites and
literati. Before entering the restaurant,
note the calligraphy on the signboard,
which was the work of Kang Youwei,
the heavyweight politician of the
Qing Dynasty who played a vital role
in the Hundred Days’ Reform. Today,
the restaurant is most famous for its
steamed egg custard bun and roasted
baby pig. A younger institution on
the street is Guangzhou Restaurant,
which has been open for more than
70 years. Gourmets should not miss
its Wenchang chicken and milk tart.
The restaurant also offers a variety
of modern and ancient Cantonese
banquet menus.
Dim sum aside, Guangzhou people
also love a snack, or xiaochi as the
locals call it. If you’re looking for
the authentic xiaochi experience go
to Guangzhou Gourmet Paradise on
Pantang Road, home to a plethora
of small and big eateries. Try the

T IS an old joke that the Cantonese
eat everything from the land,
sea or sky and everything with
four legs except tables. Funny
as it sounds, it’s not too wide of
the mark as far as the food culture
in Guangdong is concerned. The
Cantonese are foodies, and very
adventurous ones. Such a reputation
dates back at least two millennia
when a member of the Xi Han Dynasty
imperial court expressed surprise that
the Cantonese ate snake.
Although Guangdong natives are
known for their peculiar penchant for
exotic species, that represents only
a small part of the province’s eating
culture. As one of the four leading
Chinese cuisines, Cantonese fare is
more known for its diverse cooking
methods and sophisticated taste
than anything else. And to taste the
best out of this cuisine, the city of
Guangzhou is the place to be.
A visit to Guangzhou without
trying its celebrated dim sum is not
a complete journey for any foodie.
But then it’s not something you have
to make an effort to do – dim sum
restaurants are everywhere and stay
open long hours. To do it the local
way, wake up early and try one of the
traditional dim-sum restaurants to
sample a couple of dishes with hot
tea. If you are a night owl, there are
still plenty of dim-sum eateries open
in the wee hours.
As a food paradise in southern
China, Guangzhou’s dining scene has
a lot to offer. One of the city’s most

congee at Lianyuan, or the traditional
bamboo noodle at Lishi Mianjia.
Other local delicacies include the
sweet sesame rice ball and stewed
desserts at Kai Ji, goose intestine and
deep-fried dough sticks with filling
at Xiangqun, Qingping chicken and
roasted squab at Guangzhou Zhi Jia,
and the Five Pantang Delights (lotus
root, arrowhead mushroom, water
chestnut, wild rice shoot and water
caltrop) at Pantang Liaodian.
Near Panxi Restaurant is Litchi Bay, a
two-year-old tourist hot spot offering
a diversity of popular street snacks
such as vegetarian goose, Chinese
steamed cake and salted baked quail
eggs. Take a boat ride down river and
learn some local history and culture
from the guide onboard.
Another magnet for snack lovers is
at Shangxiajiu. Xiguan Renjia in Liwan
Plaza serves up dozens of specialities
originating from established local
eateries. Examples include doublelayered milk pudding from Nanxin,
fresh wanton soup from Ouchengji,
beef rice roll from Yinji, deep-fried
salted fritter from Dechang, ginger
milk pudding from Xing Hua Lou, and
duck liver dumpling from Jingzhongge.
A short walk from the plaza, Minghui
Zhonghua Xiaochi Jie constantly
attracts throngs of people to its food
stalls. Ultra-adventurous foodies
can try the exotic insect banquet,
which features everything from fried
centipede to scorpion to spider. There
are also a number of well-known
snack shops of the non-insect variety.
The nightlife in Guangzhou is
just as vibrant, with bars scattered
throughout the city. One of the best
known bar areas is Bai E Tan Bar

Pearl River, opposite Shamian Island.
The lawn running along the river’s
embankment affords a great water
view. In its heyday, the street was
lined with about a dozen bars. Today,
about three establishments remain
popular and continue to pull a crowd.
Another popular bar zone is
Huangshi Road and Taojin Road,
an up-and-coming financial district
lined with banks and upscale hotels
including Garden Hotel, Baiyun Hotel,

Plaza Guangzhou City Centre Hotel.
Most of the hotel bars are marked
by an upscale ambiance and upscale
prices to match. Five-star bars such as
Lili Marleen are not for travellers on
a shoestring budget but there are no
shortage of less expensive options.
The liveliest bars are mainly found
on Yanjiang Road and Changdi Street
by the northern bank of the Pearl
River. These include hip hangouts
such as Heihei Club and Muse. Soho
takes it one step farther with its
chilled-out vibe and arty, avantgarde feel reminiscent of the Sohos
in London and New York. For a feast
for the eyes and music to the ears,
nearby True Color is the place to be.
In the Tianhe District a new bar
zone is also taking shape and these
days Catwalk is the trendiest hangout.
But then in a city that is growing
as fast as the thumping beat of the
music at the liveliest bars, there is
bound to be something of interest no
matter which area you visit.

AISON BOULUD, the
restaurant operated by
New York chef Daniel
Boulud in the Legation
Quarter in Beijing,
serves chilled salad of Alaskan king
crab with grapefruit gelée, fennel

restaurant Jean Georges, an outpost
of New York-based Jean Georges
Vongerichten, serves house-smoked
salmon and lobster tartine with
basil. Further south, restaurants in
Guangzhou teem with lobsters and
live tropical fish and also offer wagyu
beef from Japan, Australia or the
United States.
Welcome to top-end dining in China
and whether the cuisine is Western or
Chinese, the seafood could come from
Southeast Asia, the lamb from New
Zealand and the beef from the US.
The taste for luxury goods in China
is well known and this appetite for
the very best the world has to offer
extends to the menus and the plates
of the increasingly affluent diners.
Prior to opening Maison Boulud,
which is housed in the historic former
American Embassy just off Tiananmen
Square, Executive Chef Brian Reimer

sourcing ingredients both within
China and from the entire Pacific
Rim. However, the supply of quality
ingredients is always dependent
on transportation and, sometimes,
government policy.
Cathay Pacific offers a solution
to perishable shippers into China
by operating wide-bodied aircraft
from Hong Kong to Guangzhou daily.
Shippers of perishable goods are
grateful for the solutions that have
been put in place.
Nigel Chynoweth, Cargo Manager
Australia, is also grateful. “It’s
wonderful what Cathay Pacific Hong
Kong have been able to do,” he says.
The Australian operation flies some
1,300 tonnes of perishables a year
via
and during the summer
growing season, mangoes, cherries,
peaches, nectarines and plums as well
as melons and vegetables are added
to the shipments.
In addition, up to 20 tonnes of
lobsters per flight are shipped on
flights out of Perth. Nigel says it is
important to have good relationships
with shippers and for agents to have
a great network into Hong Kong and
Xiamen and other China ports where
the lobsters were valued.
“We have been very lucky despite
some of the problems we have had,”
he says. “We would love to have a
free-trade agreement with China –
Australia would benefit greatly. At the
moment that is not the case so we
juggle a few things an
and sometimes
those borders have be
been closed and
we have been stuck

meticulous planning is essential to
the transportation of precious cargo from Australia
T
HE STATE of Victoria is
the centre for shipping
pharmaceutical products
from Australia to the rest
of the world, and Allan
Hine, Cathay Pacific Cargo Manager
Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia,
estimates that Cathay Pacific has a
large share of the market.
Allan says the Australian
pharmaceutical industry has both
technological ability and access to
raw materials. “It’s an industry that
Australia, and in particular Victoria,
has put a lot of effort into.”
Cathay Pacific’s
shipments come from three main
pharmaceutical companies, Hospira,
CSL and GlaxoSmithKline, among
others. Hospira, the largest shipper,
deals primarily in oncology products
for the treatment of cancer and
specialises in generic goods. The
volumes that Cathay Pacific carries
for Hospira are significant, says Allan.
“In fact we have had an 80 percent
increase in 2011 over 2010.”
GlaxoSmithKline deals in raw
products for manufacturing
pharmaceutical products elsewhere,
and Allan says that Cathay Pacific
Cargo moved a lot of what is known
as poppy straw and its derivatives
thebaine and codeine phosphate. The
poppies are grown in Tasmania and
taken to Port Fairy in Western Victoria
20 CARGOCLAN
where they are processed in a highsecurity plant.
Allan says that Cathay Pacific Cargo
in Australia has an exceptionally good
record with all the companies that use
. “All the staff here are fully
au fait with what the requirements
are in terms of how to handle the
units and how to book them. We book
all the lease units from Envirotainer
ourselves. So the agents send us
emails of their requirements then we
make all the bookings for the units
and all the bookings for the space.”
The Australia market is also well
equipped to handle pharmaceuticals.
Hospira and CSL, Schenker, Hellmann
and DHL Global have specialised areas
set up within their warehouses for
temperature-controlled handling of
their products.
Most of their products are sent in
Envirotainers, says Allan. CSL Ltd.,
the former Commonwealth Serum
Laboratories, has two divisions that
deal with bioplasma and influenza
virus vaccines. All the CSL product
was shipped in a mixture of e1s, which
have a battery-operated thermo unit
with no dry ice required, and the t2,
which requires dry ice. “Generally
the bioplasma goes in the t2 and the
vaccines go in the e1 because the
bioplasma sometimes has to be kept
at -20 degrees Celsius and the e1 unit
does not have that capability. Hospira
has virtually exclusively used t2s with
the exception of when it has a new
product line.”
Allan explains that when new
generic products were launched on
the market, e1 units were used to
guarantee that the product arrived
at the right temperature. “It’s very
significant because the product is
worth a lot of money,” he says. “In
one Envirotainer you are talking
upward of a million dollars in value
for the product.”
When the goods get to Hong Kong,
Cathay Pacific Cargo staff on the
ramp read the temperatures and the
voltage once again. “In cases where
there have been issues, Hong Kong
has been very proactive to minimise
the risk of temperature excursion,”
says Allan.
If there is any issue regarding the
handling they will investigate what’s
caused it and make a corrective
action plan. “In the case of the e1s
we have had a couple of instances
where the unit had a mechanical
problem in transit. They have swapped
the unit in Hong Kong in the most
efficient manner so we protected the
integrity of the product at all times. I
think that that is what helps keep the
business with Cathay Pacific.
“Even though I say so myself, we
do a very good job and I think people
appreciate it.”

HE HONG KONG Cargo Sales

joined by Director Cargo Nick Rhodes,
Dragonair Chief Executive Officer
Patrick Yeung, General Manager

Ivan and Nick started off the

The guests enjoyed fortune-telling

cultural booths and each person was
given a special Chinese pinwheel that
represented a constant flow of cargo
throughout the year.
The party ended with a lucky draw
with one of the guests winning a
Business Class package to Bali.
